2023 Holloran Sauvignon Blanc La Chenaie
Tasting notes
Impressive aromas of tangerine, lemon & baking spice flow freely from the glass. On the palate orange zest, lime & lemongrass mingle. The finish offers pure lemon & orange citrus notes with a spicy undercurrent.
Enjoy it with aged goat milk cheese, a citrus salad, or try it with Grilled MahiMahi with Lemongrass-Lime Aioli.

The 2023 growing season had a very late budbreak, followed by very warm sunny weather in May & June that ‘caught up’ vine growth prior to flowering. Consistent, warm weather in July, August & September allowed even ripening and full flavor development. The fruit was hand sorted before pressing. Fermentation and aging was entirely in French acacia barrels for this bottling. These barrels made from the Acacia trees in France provide lovely vessels for fermenting & aging Sauvignon Blanc.
